KNOWOL made this map in 2026 using public survey records, United States Geological Survey elevation data and Census Bureau files. We arranged Jackson’s roads, buildings, ponds and waterways, and terrain, the town boundary and the pattern of buildings with the relief, lettering and layout of an atlas.
Hills and a scholar from Jackson
Jackson was named for Revolutionary War general Henry Jackson. Jackson was organized as a plantation in 1812 and incorporated as a town in 1818.
North Branch Marsh Stream drains the town, and Drake Pond is its pond. The landscape includes forested hills and Mount Harris, with forestry and livestock farming among the town’s land uses.
Biblical scholar Ezra Abbot was born in Jackson in 1819. At Harvard, he worked as an assistant librarian and developed an alphabetical card catalog before becoming a professor at the Divinity School. He also helped revise the English Bible and was a founding member of the Society of Biblical Literature.
